Dewey 22-26 Caliber 44'' 8-36M Coated Rod

The Dewey 22-26 Caliber 44" 8-36M Coated Rod is a precision cleaning rod built for shooters who refuse to compromise on barrel protection. Whether you're maintaining match-grade rifles, varmint rigs, or any centerfire between .22 and .26 caliber, this 44-inch rod delivers the durability and care your finest barrels deserve. The nylon coating resists the scratching and pitting that can degrade accuracy, and unlike vinyl alternatives, it won't peel or flake during years of regular use.

The design centers on practicality: a smooth-turning ball bearing handle reduces friction and fatigue during longer cleaning sessions, while the 8-36M male thread accepts standard brush adapters and accessories. Dewey includes an oversized jag that mounts directly to the rod's threaded end and accepts patches wrapped around or placed over the tip—versatility that makes the rod adaptable to your preferred cleaning method. The extra length handles full-bore cleaning from breech to muzzle without requiring awkward extensions.

This is a workhorse for dedicated reloaders, precision shooters, and hunters who understand that barrel longevity starts with consistent, careful maintenance. Pair it with a breech or muzzle bore guide for maximum control and safety, and you've got a cleaning system that will outlast trends and stay accurate for decades.
